Reflections of a Bachelor

1903

Not all men are bad, not all women good.

The greatest passion in the world is vanity; the most powerful weapon flattery.

There is no age at which a woman's heart will not melt to the man who smiles upon her.

Beware the man who approaches you with the promise that he has come to do you a favor.

It is the little things that tell. A man who is facing bankruptcy and dishonor with a courageous smile will fly into hysterics when he can't get his collar buttoned.

There will be some way of understanding women when some one can explain how a woman will think a matinee hero is like a god, and yet have her blood run cold at the thought of her son being like him.

Most people want to make money so as to spend it, but those who make money do it by not spending it.

Some women with good figures understand how to dress so that a blind man would know it.

Even a man who knows enough to swap horses and get the best of it doesn't always know enough not to get married.

It is no use trying to make a woman understand that a man never knows why he loves a woman and never cares why.

If nobody else had the sense when a woman is pretty to tell her, she would have the sense to talk it in a phonograph and then listen to it. — New York Press.
